The Bottom Line
Located in a renovated mansion, this new boutique-style Greek hotel is gathering fans who like the amenities and the location just off the Omonia Square transportation hub.
Pros
  • Within walking distance of the National Archaeological Museum.
  • It's a new hotel, just opened in 2005.
  • There are frequent art exhibits in the basement meeting space.
  • Located in an historic building built in 1930.
  • Free internet access in all the rooms and there's Wi-Fi in the public areas.
Cons
  • Omonia Square area may be a bit of an acquired taste for many.
Description
  • The free internet access in the rooms is a great bonus; in luxury hotels in Athens, this can cost Euro 15-30 a day.
  • Their website offers on-line booking, but if international phone calls don't intimidate you, call first instead.
  • The Bus 49 route runs from Omonia Square to Piraeus, handy if you're taking a ferry to Santorini, Crete, and other islands.
Guide Review - Art Hotel
The Art Hotel in Athens is part of a growing trend of boutique-style small hotels in Greece. These hotels usually offer an historic building, a good "look" to the public areas, and high-value room rates. The Art Hotel is no exception.

Posted rates for 2007 start at 89 Euro for a single or double room. The rooms are furnished attractively and they don't call themselves "The Art Hotel" without reason - everything has been chosen with an eye to its overall design. Antiques mingle with simple modern pieces.

Amenities include air conditioning, safe deposit box, voice mail, and direct-dial numbers for both telephone and fax machine, making this handy for business travelers.

The Omonia Square area is the second major hub for transportation in Athens, just after Syntagma Square itself. There're Metro stations and bus stops. Some of the surrounding streets can be a bit seedy, but overall it's a safe, comfortable area.
